Introducing our next speaker for WordCamp Mumbai 2017 – Tarun Parswani.
WordPress is awesome – and plugins make it even better.
But when you have to build and manage plugins with more than 100,000 active installs, you hit roadblocks.
In this talk Tarun will share his experiences in situations like:
- How a timeout error turned out to be a big loophole in the plugin?
- How we had to break best-practices to tackle CPU intensive database queries?
- How we brought pages that took 3 minutes to load – down to under 20 seconds?
- How shared hosting environments forced us to rewrite our plugin?
The talk is focused around database optimization, WooCommerce and performance. It’s based on real-life problems we faced in our Smart Manager, Smart Coupons, Smart Reporter, Icegram and other plugins. It’s a technical talk, but the lessons are useful in designing any high-performance solution around WordPress.
